Reference: The Postulates: Postulate Mechanics

These postulates outline the substance of the universe, and its characteristics.

A postulate is a foundational assumption taken as true, from which everything else is derived.

Abbreviation: PS = Postulate

Postulates

PS 16: As thought condenses it acquires the characteristics of energy.

1. With condensation thought forms become increasingly fixed.
2. Energy is much more restricted by laws than thought.

PS 17: As energy condenses it acquires the characteristics of matter.

1. With condensation energy forms become increasingly structured.
2. Matter is much more structured by laws than energy.

PS 18: Thought, energy, and matter form a continuous spectrum of substance.

1. Substance is that, which is substantial enough to be sensed.

PS 19: The UNIVERSE consists of the spectrum of thought, energy, and matter.

1. But the primary substance of the universe is thought.
2. Because thought also interprets the forms of energy and matter.

PS 20: The substantiality of substance comes from its INERTIA.

1. Inertia is the tendency of a substance to maintain its intrinsic motion.
2. Inertia increases as substance condenses from thought to energy to matter.

PS 21: The inertia of thought is produced by identification.

1. Ideally this identification changes extremely rapidly and continuously.
2. When identification is fixed thought acquires lot of inertia.

PS 22: The inertia of energy is seen as momentum.

1. Momentum give energy its physical properties.
2. Momentum increase as energy gains complex particle properties.

PS 23: The inertia of matter is seen as mass.

1. Mass comes from the solidification of energy particles.
2. Mass can, therefore, be used to form solid structures.

PS 24: The intrinsic MOTION of substance decreases as its inertia increases.

1. Motion is an inherent rate of change of form of substance.
2. Motion decreases as substance condenses from thought to energy to matter.

PS 25: Absolute rest (zero motion) is approached with infinite inertia.

1. The black hole at the center of a large galaxy approaches infinite inertia.

PS 26: Void is infinitely dynamic awareness of thought with no identification.

1. This is a theoretical state of pure awareness.
2. In this state, thought is completely dynamic.

PS 27: The intrinsic extents of substance describe SPACE.

1. Empty space shall be empty of matter; but not empty of thought.
2. There is no space in the absence of substance.

PS 28: The intrinsic duration of substance describes TIME.

1. “Infinite Time” shall mean an enduring form with no change.
2. There is no time in the absence of substance.

PS 29: Space and time are intrinsic properties of substance.

1. Space and time cannot exist by themselves. There is at least thought.
2. Thought is substance like energy and matter.

PS 30: The universe is derived from the postulate SUBSTANCE-AWARENESS-ONENESS.

1. Vedas mention this postulate as “sat-chit-ananda.”
2. SUBSTANCE is the spectrum of thought, energy, and matter.
3. AWARENESS is what looks at the substance to produce consciousness.
4. ONENESS is the ideal state of a dynamic consciousness.
